These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-03-18,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct
answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 7 - Literature - Best 100 Novels
The works in this round are taken from the list of "100 Best Novels
of the 20th Century" (meaning 1900-98) according to a Modern Library
poll of readers. We give you the name of the novel and its position
on the list; you give the author.
1. #99, "The Cunning Man".
2. #92, "The Sheltering Sky".
3. #85, "V".
4. #76, "At Swim-Two-Birds".
5. #73, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
6. #72, "The Door into Summer".
7. #71, "The Magus".
8. #52, "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter".
9. #39, "Under the Volcano".
10. #17, "A Town Like Alice".
* Game 7, Round 8 - Science - Psychologists
This is a round on famous psychologists and psychiatrists who made
significant contributions to psychology. In each case, name the
person described. Please note that Freud will not be an answer
to any question in this round.
1. This German-American psychologist and psychoanalyst lived
1902-94. He proposed an eight-stage theory of life and
personality development. His writings include the books
"Childhood and Society" and "Identity: Youth and Crisis".
He might be best known for coining the phrase "identity crisis".
2. This American psychologist lived 1908-70. His writings included
the books "A Theory of Human Motivation" and "Motivation and
Personality". He is best known for his theory on the hierarchy
of needs.
3. This Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist lived 1875-1961.
He is considered the founder of analytical psychology.
He developed concepts such as extraversion and introversion,
archetypes, and the collective unconscious. The Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator test is based on his theories.
4. This American psychologist and behaviorist lived 1904-90.
He developed the theory of operant conditioning -- the idea
that behavior is determined by its consequences, be they
reinforcements or punishments, which make it more or less likely
that the behavior will occur again. He believed that the only
scientific approach to psychology was one that studied behaviors,
not internal mental processes.
5. This Austrian doctor and psychotherapist lived 1870-1937.
He is one of the cofounders of the psychoanalytic movement,
alongside Freud. He is the founder of the school of individual
psychology. His major contribution to psychology was his theory
of the inferiority complex.
6. This Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist lived 1905-97.
He is the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of
existential analysis. He is best known for his book "Man's
Search for Meaning", which chronicles his experiences as
a concentration-camp inmate. This led him to discover the
importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, and
thus a reason to continue living.
7. This Swiss-American psychiatrist lived 1926-2004. She was
a pioneer in near-death studies. Her major work was the book
"On Death and Dying", where she introduced her theory of the
five stages of grief.
8. This American psychologist and educator was born in 1942.
He """is""" considered one of the founders of the school of
positive psychology. He """is""" best known for his work on
learned helplessness and learned optimism.
9. This French psychologist lived 1857-1911. He invented the
first usable intelligence test, which is still in existence
today in modified form.
10. This Swiss developmental psychologist lived 1896-1980. He is
best known for concepts such as assimilation and accommodation
and the theory of stages of cognitive development for children
(which included the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete
operational, and formal operational stages).

When this round was originally written, the question-setters added a
comment that the list was determined in an "obviously non-scientific
manner". But if you search for the list today, you'll most likely
find this one:
http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/
which has only 4 authors in common with the questions on this round.
In the other list, the titles appearing in this round are:
#11, "Under the Volcano", Malcolm Lowry
#17, "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", Carson McCullers
#93, "The Magus", John Fowles
#97, "The Sheltering Sky", Paul Bowles
The explanation turns out to be that Modern Library -- that's a
publishing imprint -- produced *two* "Top 100 Novels" lists that year.
One was based on 217,520 responses to their Internet poll, but the
results were obviously hugely biased by multiple entries from fan
groups for certain authors: no less than 22 of the 100 novels are by
either Robert Heinlein, Charles de Lint, Ayn Rand, or L. Ron Hubbard,
with all 4 of Rand's novels appearing among the top 10 positions.
But this, such as it is, is the list that the round was based on.
Perhaps in response to that result, Modern Library also polled their
own editorial board and produced a separate list -- the one that I
linked above. The two lists are referred to as the "Readers' List"
and the "Board's List", but most sources I could find only list one or
the other, usually the Board's List. Modern Library itself seems to
have been embarrassed by the affair and tries to obfuscate the story,
but here is one site that tells it, and includes the Readers' List.

The Board's List was also criticized as being seriously biased,
but that's another story.
